Windows Installation

Windows 98 installation

Note

Some computer systems ship with an OEM version of Windows 98 that does

not contain the entire generic USB driver and audio platform. If you

experience any trouble loading the USB drivers, please refer to the

troubleshooting section at the end of this user manual for further instructions.

1There is no need to turn your computer off when plugging the

Digital PCLink in for the first time. Locate your computer’s USB

port and plug the supplied USB cable in. Now plug the Digital

PCLink into the other end of the USB cable.

2Windows 98 will open an Add New Hardware Wizard and let

you know it is found the Digital PCLink. It will then start loading

drivers for a USB Composite Device, USB Human Interface

Device, or USB Audio Device, depending on what components

have previously been installed on your system. Click Next.

3Check the option Search for the best driver for your

device (Recommended) and click Next.

4Windows 98 should already have the various USB components

installed and will automatically default to the location of those

drivers on your hard drive. Click Next. If Windows 98 does not

have the various USB components loaded, it will tell you that the

files could not be found and will request the Windows 98 CD. In

this case, put your Windows 98 CD into the CD-ROM drive and

place a check next to CD-ROM drive, then click Next.

5The Wizard will now let you know it has located drivers for a

USB Composite Device, USB Human Interface Device, or USB

Audio Device and will identify these drivers under the heading

Location of Driver. This location may be your hard drive, or

CD-ROM drive, depending on what drivers your system has had

installed in the past. Click Next.

6The first set of drivers will now install.

7Once the first set of drivers finishes installing, Windows 98 may

require the other two USB drivers to also be installed. This will

depend on what USB audio devices have previously been used on

your system. Simply follow the procedure outlined above until

all the required USB drivers have been loaded.

8Once all of the required drivers have been installed, Windows 98

will start. We recommend rebooting your computer to ensure all

changes take effect.

9Your driver installation for the Digital PCLink is now complete.

Windows Me installation

1There is no need to turn your computer off when plugging the

Digital PCLink in for the first time. Locate your computer’s USB

port and plug the supplied USB cable in. Now plug the Digital

PCLink into the other end of the USB cable.

2Windows Me will open a New Hardware Found window and

let you know it is found the Digital PCLink. It will then start

loading drivers for a USB Composite Device, USB Human

Interface Device, or USB Audio Device, depending on what

components have previously been installed on your system. Click

Next.continued

3In the Add New Hardware Wizard, place a check next to the

option Automatic Search for a Better Driver

(Recommended) and click Next.

4The Add New Hardware Wizard will load a Windows Driver

folder. When it has completed loading the drivers from this

folder, the Add New Hardware Wizard will let you know it has

finished installing the new hardware device. Click on Finish. If

during this process, Windows Me notifies you that there is a

version conflict and that a file being copied is older than a file

currently on your computer, click Yes to keep the existing file.

5Once the first set of drivers has finished installing, Windows Me

may require the other two USB drivers to also be installed. This

will depend on what USB audio devices have previously been

used on your system. Simply follow the procedure outlined

above until all the required USB drivers have been installed.

6Once all of the required drivers have been installed, Windows Me

will start. Your driver installation for the Digital PCLink now

complete.

Windows 2000 installation

1With USB technology, there is no need to turn your computer off

when plugging the Digital PCLink in for the first time. Locate

your computer’s USB port and plug the supplied USB cable in.

Now plug the Digital PCLink into the other end of the USB

cable.

2Windows 2000 will automatically detect the addition of a new

USB interface. It will automatically update your USB drivers,

including USB Composite Device, USB Human Interface

Device, and USB Audio Device.

3Once Windows 2000 has completed updating the USB drivers, it

will automatically set the Digital PCLink as your preferred

multimedia device. We recommend rebooting your computer to

ensure all changes take effect.

4Your driver installation for the Digital PCLink is now complete.

Checking that the Digital PCLink is selected

as preferred device

With USB technology, there is never any need to turn your computer

off when unplugging or plugging in the Digital PCLink. When you

want to use the Digital PCLink simply close any running programs

and plug it into the USB port. Your system will automatically

configure itself. When you are done, you can unplug the Digital

PCLink and your computer will automatically configure for whatever

soundcard is installed. In both cases, it does not matter if the system

is on or off. For smooth automatic loading, please ensure all audio

programs are closed before plugging in, or unplugging the Digital

PCLink.

Note

When the Digital PCLink is selected as your system’s preferred audio device,

no sound will come out of any speakers plugged into your soundcard. If you

wish to use your soundcard instead of the Digital PCLink either unplug the

Digital PCLink from the USB cable, or select your soundcard as preferred

audio device in the Multimedia Properties control panel for Windows 98, or

Sounds and Multimedia control panel for Windows Me and Windows 2000.

It is not possible to use a soundcard and the Digital PCLink at the same time.

Windows 98

Once Windows 98 starts and the appropriate drivers have been

loaded, the Digital PCLink will automatically be set as your system’s

preferred audio device. To verify this, open the Multimedia Control

Panel and make sure that USB Audio Device appears in the Sound

Playback section under Preferred Device. To get to the Multimedia

Control Panel hit Start, then go to Settings, then Control Panel.

The multimedia icon will be in the Control Panel window. Double

click on the icon to open the Multimedia Properties window. In the

Audio tab, under the heading Sound Playback Preferred Device,

make sure that USB Audio Device appears. If it does not, use the

scroll arrow to the right and choose USB Audio Device. You are

now fully loaded.

Note

Some computer systems ship with an OEM version of Windows 98 that does

not contain the entire generic USB driver and audio platform. If you cannot

select USB Audio Device in the Preferred Device window, please refer to

the troubleshooting section at the end of this user manual for further

instructions. In this situation you may not be able to select USB Audio

Device even though the USB drivers seemed to install fine when you first

plugged in the Digital PCLink.

Windows Me

Once Windows Me starts and the appropriate drivers have been

loaded, the Digital PCLink should automatically be set as your

system’s preferred audio device. To verify this, open the Sounds

and Multimedia Properties control panel and make sure that USB

Audio Device appears in the Sound Playback section under

Preferred Device. To get to the Sounds and Multimedia

Properties control panel hit Start, then go to Settings, then

Control Panel. The multimedia icon will be in the Control Panel

window. Double click on the icon to open the Sounds and

Multimedia Properties window. In the Audio tab, under the heading

Sound Playback Preferred Device, make sure that USB Audio

Device appears. If it does not, use the scroll arrow to the right and

choose USB Audio Device. You are now fully loaded.

Windows 2000

Once Windows 2000 starts and the appropriate drivers have been

loaded, the Digital PCLink will automatically be set as your system’s

preferred audio device. To verify this, open the Sounds and

Multimedia panel and make sure that USB Audio Device appears in

the Playback section under the Audio tab. To get to the Multimedia

Control Panel hit Start, then go to Settings, then Control Panel.

The Sounds and Multimedia icon will be in the Control Panel

window. Double click on the icon. In the Audio tab, make sure that

USB Audio Device appears in the Sound Playback section under

Preferred Device. If it does not, use the scroll arrow to the right and

choose USB Audio Device. You are now fully loaded.

Controlling the output and volume levels

The Digital PCLink’s volume and output controls can be accessed by

double clicking on the speaker icon at the bottom right hand side of

the Windows task bar. The volume for the Digital PCLink is set by

the Wave Volume slider, which is the only slider that the Digital

PCLink uses. If there are other sliders visible, go to Options and

then Properties. In the bottom section of the Properties window,

make sure a check appears only next to Wave Volume. Click on OK

once you are done.

MacOS 9.04 Users

MacOS 9.04 installation

1Before plugging in the Digital PCLink for the first time, you will

need to ensure that your computer is running the necessary

operating system and Apple Audio Extensions.

2To verify that your computer is running the correct operating

system, close all open applications. Click on the Apple icon in

the top right had corner of the screen. Scroll down to the first

item in the pop up menu called About This Computer and click

on it. A window with details of the operating system currently

running on your computer will now open. Verify that in the

version line a number 9.04 or higher appears. If this, or a higher

folders on your hard drive. Scroll down and find the System

Folder icon. Click on the arrow to the left of the System Folder

icon so that all the folders contained in the System Folder

become visible. Scroll down until you find the Extensions

folder and click on the arrow to the left of the folder icon. In the

files that are listed in the Extensions folder, scroll down and

verify that a file Apple Audio Extension appears. Check that the

version of this file is 1.0.5 or higher. If a version column does not

appear, go to View in the top navigation bar and select View

Options. Place a check next to Version in the Show Columns

section. Click on OK. A version column will now appear and let

you check the version of the Apple Audio Extension file running

on your computer. If your system is not running Apple Audio

Extension 1.0.5 or higher, the Digital PCLink, may not operate.

4After verifying your computer has the necessary operating

system and audio extensions, close all applications. Plug the

supplied USB cable into a USB port on your computer. Now plug

the Digital PCLink into the other end of the USB cable. Do not

plug the Digital PCLink into a USB hub, as other devices on the

hub may effect the digital audio data running to the Digital

PCLink causing unwanted pops and clicks in your recordings.

5Your computer will now automatically initiate the Digital

PCLink and set it as the preferred playback device. After a few

seconds, you should notice that the Digital PCLink red

TOSLINK light is activated. If the Digital PCLink’s TOSLINK

light does not activate after a few seconds, verify that you are

running the minimum operating system and Apple Audio

Extensions requirements. The installation of your Digital PCLink

is now complete. Please proceed to the next section, “Recording

to MiniDisc”(page 11).
